Absolutely stunning

The flower as with all poppies doesn't last very long but it's truly worth sowing this as it's spectacular when it opens. You get a wonderful large architectural seed pod which follows the flowering so long lasting interest in the garden. Lovely!

Stunning!

This is the first time I've grown poppies and I'll be growing them every year now. I sowed the seed in September and now have a glorious display of nearly black, fabulous poppies at the back of my border. Grown with Papaver 'Blackcurrant Fizz' alongside for a stunning combo!
